Daily Life in Gaming

Still the "oh wait I live here" thought crosses my mind everyday. I have had only two classes so far! Oh the joys of my schedule. Tomorrow I have a full day of classes, and I am very excited. My teachers are absolutely wonderful and every thing I am reading I fully enjoy! Oh and I got to class here:


Daily life here in the Kartause consitsts of me wakign up in my luxriously large room complete with it's own bathroom. We eat in the Mensa, which looks really cool! The food isn't even bad! It's very similar from day to day, they love left overs, but it's meat rice and vegetables everyday! Healthy and satisfying. They also keep a lactose free fridge, and offer gluten free meals!

My favorite experience thus far has been playing basketball with the locals. There is group of guys who hang around in the park next to the Kartause and for the past few days we have played some great pick up basketball games. These are the types of experiences in Europe I will always enjoy the most. Actually getting to know the people and learning that other than the language, they are just like us. We have some fun times understanding each other, and a lot of the game is filled with laughter.

Another great thing that is available for us here are the University bikes. Free to rent, and a joy to take out. We take many trips down to the local Spar to stock up on Milka (only the best chocolate ever). We also explore much of Gaming quicker and with less effort on these bikes. I have loved seeing the mountains and sitting by lakes and the river bed of the Danube.

  3. If you already bought it, will it last? I know if I had already bought it, It would be gone in about 5 days. You won't be coming home til December, that would be way too much temptation for me.
